Not quite Nesher time yet on this thread. Made the rough nose shape some time ago, but I'll get to it.

Basically on most of the Snecma 09K-50 powered Mirage III variants. Nick Generally speaking : Shorter intakes for 09C and later engInes scallopped splitter plate for 09K50 engines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistral Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Hey John, that E is looking sweet. I have my 32nd IIIE lined up ready and waiting. Simple grey Cheetah E camo. Please make the intake pylons as well !!!! And then of course, please scale up your 48th Cheetah C set to 32nd. We appreciate aftermarket guys like yourself putting in the hard work to give us some great options. As a side note, once your E is done, maybe look at doing an F1 nose and refueling probe so that we can make the prettiest of the species : the Venzuelan 50 !!!! alain11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Malcom I have to admit that I like the all over grey scheme too. The Cheetah C will be done in 1/32 as well The Venezuelan Mirage 50 is a good looker indeed, and not that hard to modify from here. Interest in a subject like this is a big factor to justify the effort.

Cheetah11 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Hi John 22 hours ago, Renegade said: Cheers Be careful of using the Italeri Mir III parts of the rear bay tank as a master to work from. The Cheetah and Kfir rear bay tank had a different cross section to that of the Mir III as it was more rounded and less tapered. It also had a lower profile. Here are two photo which might help.

I noticed that as soon as I cut the Italeri ventral fuel tank. The old Revell one is much better suited, and busy with adapting it already Cheers Victor K2, johncrow and Greg W 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 Hi guys, It's been a while since I posted anything. Having a really bad month or so with personal things that turned my world upside down. To get back in the saddle, I am going finish off this 1/32 Cheetah E conversion set. Made the Doppler fairing.

lrmf777 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Hi John Great to see this build starting up again. I’m looking forward to seeing it finished as your skills are incredible. The world sure is an interesting (to say the least) place at the moment. Cheers Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
